Results and discussion

In vivo (non-LLNA)

Results
Remarks on result:
positive indication of skin sensitisation

Any other information on results incl. tables

Challenge with the undiluted test sample elicited a slight irritant responsei n previously-inducegdu inea pigs. Challenge with a 30~ (w/v) preparation of the test sample in corn oil elicited a weak sensitisation response. Re-challenge with a 30~ or a 10~ (w/v) preparation of the test sample corn oil did not elicita sensitisation response in previously-induced guinea pigs. Therefore, EPTC was at most a weak skin sensitiseru nder the conditions of the test. In a positive control study, challenge with a 30~ (w/v) aqueous dilution a 40~ (w/v) formaldehyde solution elicited an extreme skin sensitisation response in previously-induced guinea pigs.
